The first glimpses of snow-capped peaks and calm waters immediately introduce the rhythm of Kashmir. After check-in and rest, the evening unfolds with a peaceful Shikara ride through lotus gardens and wooden houseboats, offering a close look at life on the lake that has remained unchanged for generations. Overnight stay in Srinagar.
  • Day 2: Srinagar to Sonmarg – Mughal Gardens & Valley Drive
    Start the morning with breakfast and a visit to the historic Mughal Gardens—Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh—where fountains, terraces, and lake views reflect Kashmir’s royal past. Later, drive towards Sonmarg, gradually leaving the city behind as pine forests and river streams guide the journey into alpine terrain. Overnight stay in Sonmarg.
  • Day 3: Sonmarg to Kargil – Crossing Zoji La Pass
    Distance: ~125 km | Travel Time: 4–5 hours
    The road climbs steadily into Zoji La Pass, a narrow and dramatic mountain gateway between Kashmir and Ladakh.

  • Day 4: Kargil to Leh – War Memorial & Indus Valley Journey
    Distance: ~220 km | Travel Time: 6–7 hours
    Begin the drive along the Indus River, passing rugged cliffs and scattered villages. Visit the Kargil War Memorial, a place of remembrance overlooking the valley.

  • Day 5: Leh Sightseeing – Monasteries & Acclimatization
    The day is kept at a relaxed pace to adjust to altitude. Visit Shanti Stupa for panoramic views of Leh town, followed by Leh Palace and important monasteries such as Thiksey and Hemis. Prayer flags, chants, and mountain silence define the atmosphere here. Overnight stay in Leh.

  • Day 8: Nubra to Pangong Lake – Scenic Shyok Route
    Distance: ~150 km | Travel Time: 6–7 hours
    Travel along the Shyok River route, where narrow mountain roads open into wide valleys and dramatic rock formations.

  • Day 9: Pangong to Leh – Sunrise & Chang La Pass
    Distance: ~140 km | Travel Time: 5–6 hours
    Wake up to sunrise over Pangong Lake as the water slowly changes color with the morning light. Begin the return journey to Leh via Chang La Pass, crossing high-altitude terrain and snowy stretches before reaching the town by evening. Overnight stay in Leh.
